Hello Spectrum,
If you are wondering if the site itself is encouraging or conspiring to promote misinformation, you give us more credit than we deserve. If you are wondering if sometimes hurt feeling expressed here exagerate the severity or intent of the elders or WT reps who are sited, I'm sure that is the case. It's human nature, especially when someone else has damaged you.
I'll suggest you just look for the big picture here when it comes to personal testimony, and look for the supporting details when it comes to damaging policies, teachings and actions of the WT. Many like the UN/NGO affair, the twisted blood policy, the child molestation scandle and the WT mistreatment of those who speak about these matters is fairly easy to prove to yourself.
And yes, we are all shocked from time to time.
